When asked about reasons for stopping breastfeeding, the top three reasons were: going back to work, lack of support, and difficulties pumping. A socioeconomic study of the mothers revealed that women who choose to breastfeed for longest tend to have a higher level of education and come from more affluent backgrounds.Conversely, those mothers who breastfeed for the least amount of time tend to belong to minority groups and are from poorer backgrounds.
